00:00What cost this pass regime, in my opinion, which was their biggest blemish,
00:03was screwing up the easiest things that don't need to be screwed up.
00:07I don't think enough can be said about the Dominic Zavada situation, to be a matter of fact.
00:12He has cost them now multiple games, and what I mean by that is
00:15when they came to breaking a tie at the end of training camp
00:18about what kicker they wanted, the difference was that Dominic Zavada
00:22had the strong leg where you wanted to be one of these teams in the NFL
00:26that, hey, we got a kicker that can make from 60.
00:28We got a kicker that can make from 55-plus because his leg is so strong.
00:32And Dominic Zavada's biggest issue in Michigan last year
00:34was that he was erratic from 40 and inside.
00:37Interesting.
00:37That was a big problem.
00:38I didn't know that.
00:39Yes, it was.
00:40Look at his percentage.
00:41He was one of the worst kickers from inside 40 percentage-wise in the NCAA last year.
00:45But with all that being said, they allowed Dominic Zavada again last night
00:50to shank a kick that has to be made.
00:51Tiki talked about the percentage.
00:53And think about the situations that arose later in the game.
00:56Even in that last play, they could have kicked the 57-yard field goal
00:59to try to go up, and I understand why they didn't.
01:00They could have, yeah.
01:01They could have.
01:02Earlier, they could have punted.
01:03It was a 54-yard try.
01:05Now you tell me, after the bye week two weeks ago,
01:08when they didn't want to bring in a new kicker
01:09and the Houston problem was there, the previous Washington problem was there,
01:13what is the point of having Dominic Zavada on the team
01:16if you're allowing his misses from makeable distance,
01:20screw up your mindset and not trust him to make the long field goals.
01:24Because the whole reason he's on the team is for the great leg on the long field goals.
01:29I think it's complete malpractice for a head coach and a decision maker
01:33whose specialty is special teams to allow a rookie kicker,
01:37and let's not forget what a rookie kicker did to end Harbaugh's season in Baltimore,
01:41to go out there every single week,
01:43and the moment he misses a kick, you're playing football as if you don't have a kicker.
01:47We live with this with the Dable era.
01:49It's unacceptable.
01:50It's infuriating.
01:52Tiki's talked about being marginally good.
01:54How do you win in the margins?
01:55You don't leave points on the board.
01:57Yes.
01:57I'm sorry.
01:58It's unexcusable, inexcusable to have Dominic Zavada go out there and kick next week.
02:04Stop defending the guy.
02:05You've benched Cam Scadaboo.
02:07You have benched at times, you know, some of these guys on defense,
02:11Nubin, everybody else.
02:12But the one rookie who you owe nothing to,
02:15you won't even allow him to attempt his strength because you don't trust him
02:19because he's missing the layups.
02:20It's killing the team.
